Comm2 Comm3 Comm4 SPI I2C PWM
Handles methods for serial communication on Comm2 Handles methods for serial communication on Comm3 Handles methods for serial communication on Comm4 Provides methods for communication over the SPI Busline Provides methods for communication over the I2C Busline Provides access to methods for pulse-width-modulation commands
UART Serial communication on the BCore is available through the use of UART. The BCore board has 4 UARTs supported by the BCoreOS under the name of Comm1/2/3/4. Comm2/3/4 supports advance UART options Full duplex, 8 or 9bit transmission Addressing Mode No parity One Stop Bit Baud Rate: Varying Standard Baud Rates 4 word deep FIFO Data Receive Buffer
Comm2 Located at JST5. *Note: COMM2 pins are shared with SPI pins. Please note that only COMM2 or SPI may be used at any one time.
Comm3 Pin Location: TX: JP1 ; RX: JST5. *Note: COMM3 Pins are shared with SPI and LED1. Only COMM3 or SPI pins may be used at any one time.
Comm4 Located at PORT5, pins 47 & 48. *Note: COMM4 Pins are shared with the OLED Data Bus Line.
COMM2/ Comm3/ Comm4 Handles advance options and methods for serial communication

.Open Open Comm Port BCore.COMMx.Open()
.Close Close Comm Port BCore.COMMx.Close()
.CLEAR Clear Buffer of Comm Port BCore.COMMx.Clear()
.hasdata Returns state of Data Receive buffer Variable = BCore.COMMx.HasData()As Integer Returns; Logical True if data is present in the data receive buffer, Logical False if the buffer is empty.
.TX Transmit 8 bit data through specified Port *Transmission is done one byte at a time. BCore.COMMx.TX(ByVal Data As Integer)
.RX Returns byte data stored in Data Receive buffer *Data is retrieved one byte at a time. Variable = BCore.COMMx.RX()As Integer
BCORE command Reference UART / Serial Communication
.ADDRESS Set up the 9bit address and the 9bit address watch mode BCore.COMMx.Init(ByVal Address As Integer, ByVal Mode As Integer) Where COMMx is COMM2/3/4
Parameter/s; Address: Set Address Info Mode: o ‘0’: Enable Address Watch Mode o ‘1’: Disable Address Watch Mode Important: Comm MUST first be initialised for 9bit Operation.
